2.6.27-rc9 + patches to enable WPA from wireless-testing (picked manually):

+ orinoco-add-essid-specific-sca
+ orinoco-update-scan-translatio
+ orinoco-specify-all-three-para
+ orinoco-move-export_symbol-dec
+ orinoco-add-function-to-execut
+ orinoco-move-firmware-download
+ orinoco-make-firmware-download
+ orinoco-extend-hermes_dld-rout
+ orinoco-invoke-firmware-downlo
+ orinoco-fix-transmit-for-agere
+ orinoco-address-checkpatch-typ
+ orinoco-use-extended-agere-sca
+ orinoco-don-t-use-boolean-para
+ orinoco-split-wevent-work-thre
+ orinoco-use-a-macro-to-define-
+ orinoco-add-we-18-ioctls-for-w
+ orinoco-send-association-event
+ orinoco-process-bulk-of-receiv
+ orinoco-add-mic-on-tx-and-chec
+ orinoco-fix-compile-warnings

Firmware taken from orinoco-devel list and placed in /lib/firmware:

4bc30fed682d83ce0bbeb32af6d218a3  /lib/firmware/agere_sta_fw.bin

After loading orinoco and "inserting" adapter I get either BUG with
endless loop (attached) or kernel panic on NULL pointer dereference
(was not able capture). Adapter works fine with wlags49 driver.

{pts/1}% pccardctl ident
Socket 0:
  product info: "TOSHIBA", "Wireless LAN Card", "Version 01.01", ""
  manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
  function: 6 (network)
Socket 1:
  no product info available
Socket 2:
  no product info available

Any idea? Anything else in wireless-testing that is missing in vanilla?
